This is one of the pieces of code I have defined in  my common file that 
I load with all of my code:


endMarkDown = {
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark
  #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
}

(The above could probably better but It works for me.

Then:

R1*4 \endMarkDown \mark \markup(D.S. al Fine)

I also have endMark which puts the text above.

HTH,
